I need your help! Painting a big Pachyrhinosaurus.

Hmmm. How to begin? I´m a little ashamed. :-[  Two or so years ago I bought myself a beautiful Pachyrhinosaurus. Our member fabricious sculpted it. It was plain white when I got it. I then was too fixed on making it look like a monochrome Invicta figure and I totally butchered it. I gave it a purple, sloppy paint with acrylic paint, as you see in this picture. And then I hid it in the back of my cabinet. All these nooks and crannies don´t really come to advantage, as does the figure...It´s 30cm long, 10cm tall and 10 cm broad.
Who considers a repaint as a challenge and would give it a new, appropriate paint? And not just monochrome. Are there even painters here in Germany? Postsaurischian, do you have a suggestion? Fabricious? Maybe you as the seller? Any idea?
How much would it be? Any suggestions or PM would be welcome.

Garratt I'd guess, probably the best you'd get for that job.

I'm messing with some chinasaurs for practice to prepare on purchasing and painting that nice Edaphosaurus from shapeways (which Martin also painted), but I wouldn't dare to "ruin" someone else's dinosaurs :D

Very nice figures btw, but it's somewhat elusive stance cries out for a counterpart ...
